If you first visit the ancient city of Epheses AND its Slope Houses then a visit to Selcuk's Ephesus Museum becomes worthwhile ... because the Museum contains artifacts (small statues) found in recent decades in the recently excavated parts of ancient Ephesus. (Artifacts uncovered prior to WWII are largely in Austria). Musem is centrally located across the street from Selcuks... More

I first saw this museum in 1970 shortly after the first (north) wing opened. Since then it has been much expanded.

The Epehsus Museum combined with a stop at The Basilica of St. John in Slecuk proper are a GREAT way to spend a morning or afternoon (2-3 hours). The Museum contains the Artemis Statues and some incredible pieces of a monumental statue of a Roman Emperor. There is a great exhibit of the "Socrates Room" with a painting of Socrates.... More

Interesting artifacts from Ephesus. Should not be missed if you're in the area. Exhibits could use better signage. More
